### AI Application Examples:
#### AI Application Examples:
On ZimaOS, you can use Open WebUI to experience advanced AI conversation clients.
It supports the latest language models, including but not limited to Llama3 and Gemma, and is compatible with OpenAI's API. Additionally, Open WebUI will call on the ZimaCube Pro Creator's built-in NVIDIA 2000 Ada GPU to reduce processing latency.
Most importantly, all your data (including login details) is locally stored on your device. Open WebUI ensures strict confidentiality under your authorization, with no external requests, protecting your privacy and enhancing your security.

We look forward to hearing more about your experiences!

# Compatibility List
The ZimaCube supports **low-profile** graphics cards, typically around 64.41 mm (2.536 inches) in height. The PCIe slot provides up to **75W** of power, so it is recommended to select graphics cards within this size and power range to ensure compatibility with ZimaCube's compact design and power limitations.
The ZimaCube supports **low-profile** graphics cards, typically around **2.7"** in height. The PCIe slot provides up to **75W** of power, so it is recommended to select graphics cards within this size and power range to ensure compatibility with ZimaCube's compact design and power limitations.
**Please note that other graphics cards may require external power for proper operation.**
